This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype Save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright (that's alright) I found a martyr in my bed tonight She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change. And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)

So this is it. I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love" When I look into my nephew's eyes... Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... Some terrible nights... ah...

Oh, I loved this! I love how you give equal weight and sympathy to all the characters and their (sometimes bad, sometimes good) choices and their relationships with each other (including the more unusual combinations). And it's a gorgeous song -- one I hadn't heard before, either -- that's fit perfectly to the clips. This one will be a rewatch for sure. \o/

Yay, thank you! We knew as soon as we heard the song that it was for a POI vid, but went back and forth on the POV -- first we assumed John, then realized that a lot of it was Fusco, then hey wait you know what, really -- and so a team vid was born. *g* I'm so glad the balance worked; they're all such wonderful, flawed people, working to make each other better and more honestly themselves. *hugs them all*

(here from Sholio's rec!) YAY, much fun! (er pardon the pun...) Never would've associated a song so upbeat-sounding with POI's grim look, but it works really well here (and really it's kind of perfect, because the song is darker than it sounds, but then POI is brighter than it appears, so, they meet perfectly in the middle!)

And the clips to song was well done, you got the rhythm, and the teaminess, and just, yay!

Hey, wow, this is just a perfect ensemble vid. I love the tone of hope throughout it despite how terrible their lives are. The blend of voices in the song really supports the theme of working together. Also, thanks for the many download choices. I took the 720p version.

"What do I stand for?" is such a great summary for all of the characters, each of them has to ask themselves that sooner or later, it changes and grows throughout the show -- which is one of my favourite things about it -- and I love the scenes you chose for those lyrics.
